· Help your child stay on task and make the most of homework time. Remove distractions such as TV, games, and people who might disturb.
· Suggest your child work on the most difficult assignment first, while he/she still feels fresh.
· Reward your child with a five-minute break and snack periodically.
· Keep necessary supplies on hand: pencils, pens, colored markers, poster board, paper, ruler, compass, and calculator.
· Obtain telephone numbers of other students in your child's class so your child can call if questions arise.
